sHAMPooED WITH CHAMPAGNE
a Wild OrGie of Young BIoods in
New York's Calumet Club.
From the Baltim ore A meyica,

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-There is great
ado in the Calumet Club, which is an in
tensely fashionable organization, with lis
house in Fifth avenue. Half a dozen
of it's members had dinner there. A
coplous flow melted them to riotous con-
duct. The first to get under the influence
thought 1t very humorous thing to kick
the under side of the table violently at
intervals and make the dishes dance jigs.

something he was immensely pleased.
Upsettlng the vinegar for sherry in a
neighbours glass when he looked the other
way was favorite jest, but it tended to
check the festivities by SOLDERING up those
who drank the vinegar and was voted a
stupid failure. At least two glasses OF
Burgundy all round were required as an
antidote for the vinegar and restorer of
MARTY, when humorlst perpetrated the
witticism OF pouring champagne upon
another fellows head. This was at once
recognized as stroke or saturnalian ge-
MUS. and the inventor was given the
compliment of general imitation. The
dinlng-ro0m for the next fifteen minutes
resembled barber shop, each of the
bloods trying to shampoo his neighbor
with champagne from bottle. The effect
was unique if not ediiying, and the Joke

They wound up the dinner making snow

decorated walls of the room in which the
dinner was served were spattered with
cream and ruined. The club attendants
finally put the party out. under orders Of
the house committee, and expulsion from
membership altogether is not improbable.

Mr.. CIeveland's social Duties.
From the Waterbury american.


"People here in Washington talk about
the Presidents dislike of attending pub
lie gatherings, and especially of his
horror OF being stared at" said a gentle
man from Western New York, who knew
Mr.. Cleveland all through his Buffalo
career. "ThOse who remember him in
his old Buffalo days wonder at the wav
he goes about here, and the patience and
apparent pleasure with which he endures
the social routine al the White House. To
his old acquaintance this causes more
wonder than anything else he does
When he was bachelor In Buffalo he
was absolutely unknown socially. Why,
you couldn't drag him to any kind of
society entertainment. He was noted for
his deep detestation OF everything of that
sort. Not that he was by any means I'M
social in his habits among the few INN tes
that he used to have with him in his old
quarters in the Weed block, and among
whom he spent nearly ali his time out of
business hours. With these friends he
was jolly companion, but his life was
wholly devoid of anything approaching a
social or domestic side. SO you can un-
derstand that those who knew him then
are puzzled and amused at the record as
society man he Is making in the White
House, and are not prepared to agree
with people who seem to think him stiff
and unsOclal. OF course his wife's lnflu-
ence accounts for much of the change in
him in the last year, and, doubtless, II he
had not married, the society side Of the
administration would have been vastly
different from what it actually is. Prob
ably he dislikes the big dinners and recep-
tons and balls he@is compelled to take
part in now as much as ever he did, but
he found them an essential part of his du-
ties in his new office, and made up bis
mind to go through with them as he has
had TO 20 through with other disagreeabIe
duties. That this is so is shown by the
way be spends his vacations, away up in
the Adirondacks with few friends, away
from the crowds and tormalitles and hol-
low ceremOnials of sOcieLyO

the chips before taking them away, be-
cause some people are pretty apt to carry
them off unconsciously in their pockets.
L have regular customers at the clubs and
the lodges who order from me a certain

"Why is thatW L asked. "Do the
chips wear OutW
'No, they never wear out, They will
last like iron. But they do get lost and
people will carry them away. L have
heard it said, though, that regular
gambling houses seldom permit chip to
be lost, because chips are just the same
as money to them. But very few of the
chips L make ever get inside of gambling
houses, L am glad to say.''

First-class Indian Mourning.

from Hte fOfb worm uneetfe.
Up on Beaver creek, in the Nation, the
other day, old Otter Belt, one OF the great
est OF the Comanche chiefs, succumbed
to the grim reaper Death, and IL was all
in his honor. lie knew he was going 70
die, and just five minutes before he
breathed his last they held him erect and
rugged the old chief out in his best war
costume. They painted him as red as a
sunset, set his war bonnet on his head,
tied up his hair in beaver skins and then
laid him down just as his spirit winged
It's flight. Otter Belt, while good man
for Comanche, was rather inclined to-
ward the doctrines of Brigham Young.
only he coutented himself with less
number OF wives-in fact, limited himself
TO five. The way these squaws took on
when the chief WAS no mo was a sight
never TO be forgotten. Taxing SHARP
butcher knives, they slashed their faces
with long, deep cuts, Till they were COW
cred with blood. They also cut them
selves In other places, and then beat their
bleeding bodies and pulled their hair, ali
the while uttering the most doleful and
plalntive cries. They then burned every
thing they had, their two topees, furni-
ture, clothing and all-even the biggest
part OF the clothing they wore. There
was big crowd OF bucks present at the
obsequiesnof course, and, as is the Indian
fashion, they slew ten head OF horses in
honor Of Otter Belts memory. Among
the horses they killed wasa lavorlte team
OF Press Addington, on whose ranch Otter
Belt resided. Press won't like IL much
when be hears that his tTOtters are dead.
but when Indians need horses for a fiI-
neral they never stop to inquire who they
belong 10.
